Adolf Hitler<\/strong> is perhaps one of the most famous personalities of the 20th century. As leader of Nazi Germany, the state responsible for World War II and the terrible Holocaust, Hitler has been seen by many as a hated and feared figure. But despite his place in history, questions remain about his death, and whether he was assassinated or not.<\/p>\n

Hitler’s ultimate demise began on April 28th 1945, when the Nazi leader and his new wife exercised in their bunker beneath the ruins of Berlin. Following a tense midnight meeting with his generals, Hitler reluctantly accepted defeat, shaking his fists and shouting, “I will not leave Berlin, I will never capitulate. All that I command is destruction.”<\/p>\n

In the early hours of April 30th, as Soviet forces closed in on his bunker, Adolf Hitler and his wife Eva Braun committed suicide. However, many theories have been put forward to explain Hitler’s death, with some arguing that he did not die in his bunker but in fact escaped to South America where he lived out the rest of his days, a theory which has been largely dismissed by historians.<\/p>\n

According to the official version, Hitler and Braun committed suicide by eating cyanide capsules, while Hitler simultaneously shot himself in the head. His body was found by Soviet troops and placed in a crude plywood casket. This casket was later buried in a bomb crater and ultimately burned. The ashes were thrown into the River Elbe in 1947, thus erasing all evidence of Hitler.<\/p>\n
